Abstract:

Isolates of zucchini yellow mosaic virus (ZYMV) were obtained from six cucurbit species from four states of Australia and identified by host range, electron microscopy and serology. A survey of coastal Queensland in 1986-87 showed no ZYMV north of Townsville nor around Rockhampton, but major centres of ZYMV incidence with specific pathotypes, around Ayr, Bowen and in south-east Queensland. Pathotypes were distinguished using Cucumis melo differentials, Trichosanthes anguina and Phaseolus vulgaris. Three ZYMV isolates were compared with watermelon mosaic virus 2 and papaya ringspot virus, cucurbit strain, on 20 hosts from 5 families. The effect of ZYMV on 19 cvv. of pumpkin, squash, zucchini, cucumber, rockmelon and watermelon was examined in the field where marketable fruit production was most affected in Cucurbita maxima and C. pepo, moderately in C. melo and Citrullus lanatus and least in C. moschata and C. sativus. One instance of ZYMV seed transmission in C. pepo and transmission by Aphisgossypii was demonstrated. Resistance breeding progress with C. maxima using a C. ecuadorensis source and in C. lanatus using Citrullus sp. cv. Egusi is reported. Virus purification was achieved using carbon tetrachloride and Triton X-100 clarification with sucrose pad and gradient centrifugations. An antiserum was produced and reacted well in agarose gel-diffusion tests without prior virus particle disruption.

Abstract:

Stably transformed sugarcane plants were produced by the biolistic introduction of DNA into tissue-cultured cells. Constructs containing genes in sense and antisense orientation of polyphenol oxidase and sense orientation of sucrose phosphate synthase were used in the transformations. Regenerated plants were grown in a series of field experiments that incorporated commercial varieties, including Q117, from which the transgenic clones were derived and plants regenerated from tissue culture but not subjected to biolistic bombardment. In all experiments, the mean yield of transgenic sugarcane was lower than commercial varieties and the transgenic clones often exhibited lower sugar content, although individual transgenic clones in some experiments were not significantly different from Q117. Those plants regenerated from tissue culture but not bombarded were intermediate in their yield, and more clones were equivalent to Q117 in agronomic performance. Transformed plants produced by the bombardment of callus performed poorly but the results from the tissue-cultured controls indicated that not all of this could be due to somaclonal variation. Some aspect(s) of the process of transformation itself was deleterious and in most cases more significant than the effects due to tissue culture. Of the transgenic clones grown at Ayr, Queensland, 1.6% were equivalent to Q117 in sugar content and yield, suggesting that large numbers of transgenic clones would have to be generated using the current method in order to allow for selection of clones with acceptable agronomic performance.

Abstract:

AbstractA historical rainfall index, relevant to the grazing industries of Queensland, Australia, is described. We refer to our index as the Queensland grazing lands rainfall index (QGLRI), which is a long-term (1890/91–present) time series of austral summer (November–March) rainfall, spatially averaged over a region we define as the Queensland grazing lands region. We argue that our QGLRI better represents historical summer rainfall variability faced by the majority of the grazing industry in Queensland than does area-averaged statewide rainfall. The geographical boundaries of our region were chosen to 1) better represent the spatial patterns of land use, settlement, and livestock densities and 2) coincide with spatial patterns of airmass dominance. The selected region covers 59% of Queensland’s mainland area but carries more than 80% of the state’s livestock. The region’s boundaries also closely match the mean summer location of the boundaries of the “tropical maritime Pacific” air mass. The selected 5-month season (November–March) was chosen based on summer rainfall dominance, seasonal climatic effects restricting pasture and animal growth, and pasture management implications such as burning and the risk of overgrazing. We find that this season also corresponds to the timing of tropical maritime airmass dominance. The remaining regions of Queensland, far-northern and far-western Queensland, also correspond to well-defined dominant air masses, with properties that are markedly different from those of the tropical maritime Pacific air mass. We demonstrate that the rainfall regime in far-northern Queensland makes a strong contribution to statewide totals, resulting in statewide summer rainfall having lower variability than our QGLRI.

Abstract:

Air quality related to respiratory illness is examined in many settings, including populations that work or reside close to sources of pollution. Industry produced pollution from mining and metal manufacturing, natural environmental pollution as in the case of bushfires and large-scale dust storms are examples. We reviewed any available literature and data concerning the Queensland coal industry and its effect on respiratory health of miners, mining related workers and communities in proximity to coal mines. We searched various databases using keywords related to coal and respiratory diseases, using the five step criteria defined by Denyer and Tranfield. In the Queensland coal mining industry, the negative effect of mining on workers’ respiratory health has been known for many years and has received increased attention in the last five years both nationally and internationally due to the resurgence in Coal Mine Dust Lung Diseases and specifically Coal Worker’s Pneumoconiosis (CWP). A Queensland parliamentary review has prompted regulatory amendments for the permitted (occupational) exposure level (PEL; OEL) to coal dust and silica; amendments have also been enacted for better occupational respiratory health surveillance of Queensland coal miners, both surface and underground. Considering Queensland has a high proportion of Australian coal mines, the literature available on respiratory health in Queensland coal mines and surrounding communities is minimal. There is very limited research into, and possible underreporting of CMDLD amongst the coal mining workers in Queensland. Further studies are required to better understand air pollution and health effects in coal miners in Queensland.

Abstract:

In Australia the future demand for energy is predicted to increase rapidly. Conventional energy resources soaring prices and environmental impact have increased the interest in renewable energy technology. As a result of that the Australian government is promoting renewable energy; such as wind, geothermal, solar and hydropower. These types of energy are believed to be cost-effective and environmentally friendly. Renewable energy availability is controlled by climatic conditions such as solar radiation, wind speed and temperature. This paper aims to assess the potential of renewable energy resources, in particular wind and solar energy in an Australian subtropical region (Central and North Queensland) namely, Gladstone, Emerald, Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Townsville, and Cairns. Analysis is done by using the latest statistical state of Queensland energy information, along with measured data history of wind speed, solar irradiations, air temperature, relative humidity, and atmospheric pressure for those sites. This study has also shown that national assessments of solar and wind energy potential can be improved by improving local climatic data assessments using spatial databases of Central and North Queensland areas.

Abstract:

Background and objectivesWe investigated the incidence of ESKD after surgical management of kidney cancer in the Australian state of Queensland, and described patterns in the initiation of kidney replacement therapy resulting from kidney cancer across Australia.Design, setting, participants, & measurementsAll newly diagnosed cases of kidney cancer in the Australian state of Queensland between January of 2009 and December of 2014 were ascertained through the Queensland Cancer Registry. There were 2739 patients included in our analysis. Patients who developed ESKD were identified using international classification of disease–10–coded hospital administrative data. Incidence rate and 3-year cumulative incidence were calculated, and multivariable Cox proportional hazards models were used to identify factors associated with ESKD. Additional descriptive analysis was undertaken of Australian population data.ResultsThe incidence rate of ESKD in all patients was 4.9 (95% confidence interval [95% CI], 3.9 to 6.2) per 1000 patient-years. The 3-year cumulative incidence was 1.7%, 1.9%, and 1.0% for all patients, and patients managed with radical or partial nephrectomy, respectively. Apart from preoperative kidney disease, exposures associated with increased ESKD risk were age≥65 years (adjusted hazard ratio [aHR], 2.0; 95% CI, 1.2 to 3.2), male sex (aHR, 2.3; 95% CI, 1.3 to 4.3), preoperative diabetes (aHR, 1.8; 95% CI, 1.0 to 3.3), American Society of Anesthesiologists classification ≥3 (aHR, 4.0; 95% CI, 2.2 to 7.4), socioeconomic disadvantage (aHR, 1.6; 95% CI, 0.9 to 2.7), and postoperative length of hospitalization ≥6 days (aHR, 2.1; 95% CI, 1.4 to 3.0). Australia-wide trends indicate that the rate of kidney replacement therapy after oncologic nephrectomy doubled between 1995 and 2015, from 0.3 to 0.6 per 100,000 per year.ConclusionsIn Queensland between 2009 and 2014, one in 53 patients managed with radical nephrectomy and one in 100 patients managed with partial nephrectomy developed ESKD within 3 years of surgery.PodcastThis article contains a podcast at https://www.asn-online.org/media/podcast/CJASN/2018_09_28_CJASNPodcast_18_1_.mp3

Abstract:

Earlier papers have addressed floods from warm-air advection (WAA) in southeast Australia and around the globe, and extreme rainfall in US hurricanes and Australian tropical cyclones (TCs). This is the first paper to address the WAA phenomena in causing monsoon and TC floods and in TC-like systems which develop over the interior of northern Australia. The inland events help explain Australia’s worst tropical flooding disaster in 1916. A disastrous series of floods during late January and early February 2019 caused widespread damage in tropical north Queensland both in inland regions and along the coast. This occurred when some large-scale climate influences, including the sea surface temperatures suggested conditions would not lead to major flooding. Therefore, it is important to focus on the weather systems to understand the processes that resulted in the extreme rainfall responsible for the flooding. The structure of weather systems in most areas involved a pattern in which the winds turned in an anticyclonic sense as they ascended from the low to middle levels of the atmosphere (often referred to as WAA) which was maintained over large areas for 11 days. HYSPLIT air parcel trajectory observations were employed to confirm these ascent analyses. Examination of a period during which the heaviest rain was reported and compared with climatology showed a much stronger monsoon circulation, widespread WAA through tropical Queensland where normally its descending equivalent of cold-air advection is found, and higher mean sea level pressures along the south Queensland coast. The monsoon low was located between strong deep monsoon westerlies to the north and strong deep easterlies to the south which ensured its slow movement. This non-TC event produced heavy inland rainfall. Extreme inland rainfall is rare in this region. Dare et al. (2012), using data from 1969/70 to 2009/10, showed that over north Queensland non-TC events produced a large percentage of the total rainfall. The vertical structure associated with one of the earlier events that occurred in 2008 had sufficient data to detect strong and widespread WAA overlying an onshore moist tropical airstream. This appears to have played a crucial role in such extreme rainfall extending well inland and perhaps gives insight to the cause of a 1916 flooding disaster at Clermont which claimed around 70 lives. Several other events over the inland Tropics with strong WAA also help explain the 1916 disaster.

Abstract:

The growing demand for air-conditioning is one of the largest contributors to Australia overall electricity consumption. This has started to create peak load supply problems for some electricity utilities particularly in Queensland. This research aimed to develop a consumer demand side response model to assist electricity consumers to mitigate peak demand on the electrical network. The proposed model allows consumers to independently and proactively manage air conditioning peak electricity demand. The main contribution of this research is how to show consumers can mitigate peak demands by optimizing energy costs for air conditioning in a several cases such as no spike and spike considering to the probability spike cases may only occur in the middle of the day for half hour, one hour and one and half hour spikes. This model also investigates how air conditioning applied a pre-cooling method when there is a substantial risk of a price spike. The results indicate the potential of the scheme to achieve energy savings and reducing electricity bills (costs) to the consumer. The model was tested with the Queensland electricity market data from Australian Energy Market Operator and Brisbane temperature data from Bureau statistic during hot days.

Abstract:

The use of solar photovoltaic (PV) in residential electricity generation is encouraged by Australian governments incentive. However, what extent of residents benefit from installing a grid-connected PV system is not fully understood yet. The purpose of this study is to investigate and optimize the economic, technical and environmental performance of grid-connected PV system in Queensland, Australia. Using the price of PV devices and accessories, grid electricity tariff and sale-back tariff as economic analysis inputs, and global solar irradiation as solar energy resource data, the system is simulated and optimized by HOMER software. The optimized system not only satisfies the typical residential load of 23 kWh per day but also meet the requirement of minimizing the total costs of system investment and electricity consumption during the system life (20 years). It is found that under the weather conditions of the eleven main cities of Queensland, a PV system is an effective way to reducing electricity bills and mitigating carbon dioxide emission.

AbstractOne response to the development of tourism in small inland Queensland towns has been to collect heritage machinery from the surrounding countryside and display it in town as an attraction for visitors. These sites range from open-air collections of miscellaneous i3tems with no explanation of their use to both private and local government museums that are given varying levels of care and interpretation. The small north-western Queensland town of Croydon has a collection of heritage machinery in a number of sites, which range across this continuum. This article explores the potential of the collection to interpret the town’s history and the history of early gold mining, as a case study with application to other such collections.

Full text

Abstract:

Objective. To determine the impact of the introduction of universal access to ambulance services via the implementation of the Community Ambulance Cover (CAC) program in Queensland in 2003–04. Method. The study involved a 10-year (2000–01 to 2009–10) retrospective analysis of routinely collected data reported by the Queensland Ambulance Service (QAS) and by the Council of Ambulance Authorities. The data were analysed for the impact of policy changes that resulted in universal access to ambulance services in Queensland. Results. QAS is a statewide, publically funded ambulance service. In Queensland, ambulance utilisation rate (AUR) per 1000 persons grew by 41% over the decade or 3.9% per annum (10-year mean = 149.8, 95% CI: 137.3–162.3). The AUR mean after CAC was significantly higher for urgent incidents than for non-urgent ones. However projection modelling demonstrates that URs after the introduction of CAC were significantly lower than the projected utilisation for the same period. Conclusions. The introduction of universal access under the Community Ambulance Cover program in Queensland has not had any significant independent long-term impact on demand overall. There has been a reduction in the long-term growth rate, which may have been contributed to by an ‘appropriate use’ public awareness program. What is known about the topic? It is generally well accepted that the demand for emergency health services is increasing however the drivers for demand are poorly understood. In Queensland in particular, growth in demand for services exceeds that seen in other states and territories. Some commentators have pointed at service funding policy and costs to end users as potential reasons for excess demand for services. What does this paper add? The assumption that forced subsidisation creates a perception of entitlement amongst consumers is challenged in this paper. We are able to demonstrate that demand for emergency health services did not increase beyond what would have been expected under a mandatory subscription system known as Community Ambulance Cover (CAC). This paper contributes to the developing body of knowledge about drivers for emergency health service demand. What are the implications for practitioners? There is a need to continue analysis of the system to determine drivers for demand and develop an evidence base on which to formulate emergency health policy, including funding models, for the future. Purely economic drivers for service demand seem unlikely to hold up and policy makers need to understand the complex relationships between service systems; end user perceptions and health literacy; and the costs of services in order to effect policy reform.

Abstract:

The emergence of type 6B Streptococcus pneumoniae resistant to five antibiotics (penicillin, chloramphenicol, trimethoprim–sulphamethoxazole, erythromycin and tetracycline) in both the Northern Territory and Queensland prompted an investigation of the genetic relatedness and patterns of migration of the isolates. Pulsed field gel electrophoresis of genomic DNA of 74 multiple drug-resistant (MDR) isolates cultured in both regions between August 1988 and June 1997 showed that 100% of MDR isolates from the Northern Territory and 96% of MDR strains from Queensland were genetically indistinguishable or closely related to the index strain. None of a further 65 type 6B isolates that were resistant to one or two, or susceptible to all of the above antibiotics, were clonally related to the MDR pneumococci. The geographical distribution of the MDR type 6B clone increased over time. The index strain, first isolated in Darwin in August 1988, was identified in Brisbane, 2900km distant, less than 4 years later and subsequently in other Queensland centres. Surveillance programmes are important to monitor the emergence and spread of potentially invasive MDR pneumococcal clones in countries that are well serviced by air and road transport.

Abstract:

In early 2012, Armour Energy set out to evaluate the Middle-Proterozoic formations in the Batten Trough, McArthur Basin, NT. The Batten Trough holds a massive potential shale gas play in the Barney Creek Formation, and recent gas discoveries in the overlying Lynott and Reward formations, and underlying Coxco Dolomite. The Lawn Supersequence, Isa Superbasin, Queensland, is another Middle-Proterozoic shale gas play with overlying and underlying conventional and unconventional oil and gas accumulations. Exploratory drilling between the 1980s and 1990s showed gas and oil shows across the Isa Superbasin, Queensland. Egilabria–1, ATP 1087, exhibited 390 gas units while drilling with mud, highlighting the prospectivity of this area. In both areas, the Barney Creek and Lawn Hill formations are proven source rocks and are significantly older than North American shale reservoirs. In 2012, an innovative exploration program was designed and implemented in the NT to maximise the capture of drilling data while integrating data from previous mineral and petroleum exploration programs. This resulted in gas discoveries at Cow Lagoon–1, EP 176, and in the Glyde–1 and Glyde–1 ST lateral wells in the Glyde Sub-basin in EP171. In both cases, air drilling was instrumental in aiding drilling penetration rates, gauging gas influx while drilling, and allowing geologists to rapidly obtain and assess drill cuttings. The authors first discuss the details of the formation evaluation methods used in Armour’s successful 2012 program and how these methods are extended to Armour’s 2013 program in the Isa Superbasin, northern Queensland. Next, an outline of the strategy for further delineation of the Batten Trough is provided. Finally, the authors summarise the exciting potential of the Lawn Supersequence in Queensland.

Abstract:

AbstractDuring the Queensland Cloud Seeding Research Program, the “CP2” polarimetric radar parameter differential radar reflectivity Zdr was used to examine the raindrop size evolution in both maritime and continental clouds. The focus of this paper is to examine the natural variability of the drop size distribution. The primary finding is that there are two basic raindrop size evolutions, one associated with continental air masses characterized by relatively high aerosol concentrations and long air trajectories over land and the other associated with maritime air masses with lower aerosol concentrations. The size evolution difference is during the growth stage of the radar echoes. The differential radar reflectivity in the growing continental clouds is dominated by large raindrops, whereas in the maritime clouds differential reflectivity is dominated by small raindrops and drizzle. The drop size evolution in many of the maritime air masses was very similar to those observed in the maritime air of the Caribbean Sea observed with the NCAR S-band polarimetric radar (S-Pol) during the Rain in Cumulus over the Ocean (RICO) experiment. Because the tops of the Queensland continental clouds ascended almost 2 times as fast as the maritime ones in their growth stage, both dynamical and aerosol factors may be important for the systematic difference in drop size evolution. Recommendations are advanced for future field programs to understand better the causes for the observed variability in drop size evolution. Also, considering the natural variability in drop size evolution, comments are provided on conducting and evaluating cloud seeding experiments.

Abstract:

Experiments were conducted to study the effect of time of digging and nursery-growing environment on the levels of non-structural carbohydrates in ‘Festival’ strawberry transplants (Fragaria ×ananassa) over 2 years in southeastern Queensland, Australia. We were interested in determining whether there was a strong relationship between the potential productivity of this material and reserves in the plants. First, bare-rooted plants were obtained from Stanthorpe in southern Queensland from early March to mid-April/late April. Second, bare-rooted plants were sourced from Stanthorpe (a warm-growing area) or from Toolangi in Victoria (a cool-growing area). In Year 1 of the experiments, the nursery material from the different treatments was grown at Nambour in southeastern Queensland and fruit yield determined. The total weight of non-structural carbohydrates/plant increased as digging was delayed and was higher in the plants from Stanthorpe than the plants from Toolangi. Plants dug on 17 Mar. in Year 1 had higher weights of non-structural carbohydrates [292 mg/plant dry weight (DW)] than plants dug on 3 Mar. (224 mg/plant) and higher early yield to the end of June or to the end of July and higher total yield to mid-October adjusted by the length of the growing season for the different treatments. Plants dug on 1 Apr. (408 mg/plant) or on 13 Apr. (445 mg/plant) had higher reserves than the plants dug on 17 Mar. but lower yields. Only the differences in yields between the plants dug on 3 Mar. and 17 Mar. reflected the differences in carbohydrates. The stock from Stanthorpe had greater reserves (408 mg/plant) than the stock from Toolangi (306 mg/plant) but similar yields in Year 1 possibly because of poorer flowering in the nursery plants. It was concluded that carbohydrate reserves in transplants only partially reflect their productivity in this environment.

Abstract:

Introduction:Process mining, a branch of data science, aims at deriving an understanding of process behaviors from data collected during executions of the process. In this study, we apply process mining techniques to examine retrieval and transport of road trauma patients in Queensland. Specifically, we use multiple datasets collected from ground and air ambulance, emergency department, and hospital admissions to investigate the various patient pathways and transport modalities from accident to definitive care.Aim:The project aims to answer the question, “Are we providing the right level of care to patients?” We focus on (i) automatically discovering, from historical records, the different care and transport processes, and (ii) identifying and quantifying factors influencing deviance from standard processes, e.g. mechanisms of injury and geospatial (crash and trauma facility) considerations.Methods:We adapted the Cross-Industry Standard Process for Data Mining methodology to Queensland Ambulance Service, Retrieval Services Queensland (aero-medical), and Queensland Health (emergency department and hospital admissions) data. Data linkage and “case” definition emerged as particular challenges. We developed detailed data models, conduct a data quality assessment, and preliminary process mining analyses.Results:Preliminary results only with full results are presented at the conference. A collection of process models, which revealed multiple transport pathways, were automatically discovered from pilot data. Conformance checking showed some variations from expected processing. Systematic analysis of data quality allowed us to distinguish between systemic and occasional quality issues, and anticipate and explain certain observable features in process mining analyses. Results will be validated with domain experts to ensure insights are accurate and actionable.Discussion:Preliminary analysis unearthed challenging data quality issues that impact the use of historical retrieval data for secondary analysis. The automatically discovered process models will facilitate comparison of actual behavior with existing guidelines.

Abstract:

Exposure monitoring and health surveillance of coal mine workers has been improved in Australia since coal workers’ pneumoconiosis was reidentified in 2015 in Queensland. Regional variations in the prevalence of mine dust lung disease have been observed, prompting a more detailed look into the size, shape, and mineralogical classes of the dust that workers are being exposed to. This study collected respirable samples of ambient air from three operating coal mines in Queensland and New South Wales for characterization analysis using the Mineral Liberation Analyser (MLA), a type of scanning electron microscope (SEM) that uses a combination of the backscattered electron (BSE) image and characteristic X-rays for mineral identification. This research identified 25 different minerals present in the coal samples with varying particle size distributions for the overall samples and the individual mineralogies. While Mine 8 was very consistent in mineralogy with a high carbon content, Mine 6 and 7 were found to differ more significantly by location within the mine.

Abstract:

Differences in growth, yield and root systems of two adjoining cotton crops on a Vertisol near Dalby, Queensland, were explained in terms of soil profile morphology and soil shrinkage indices. The soil beneath the strongly inferior crop had platy structure in the 0.05-0.28 m layer and significantly less air-filled specific pore volume in the 0.2-0.4 m layer. This soil structure degradation was caused by seedbed preparation of wet soil, prior to sowing the cotton crop.

Abstract:

Background: The transition from prison to the community can be a difficult process and may present different challenges for adolescents (aged < 25 years) compared with their older peers. Methods: Using data from a prospective cohort study in Australia, we compared the health and welfare outcomes of adolescents (aged < 25 years) and adults (aged ≥ 25 years) at 1, 3, and 6 months after release from prison. Results: After one month, adolescents were less likely to be unemployed (adjusted odds ratio (aOR) 0.31; 95% CI 0.15–0.63), report low levels of social support (aOR 0.41; 95% CI 0.21–0.80), or report high psychological distress (aOR 0.50; 95% CI 0.25–0.99). After three months, adults were more likely to have visited a general practitioner (aOR 2.05; 95% CI 1.04–4.07) and adolescents remained less likely to be unemployed (aOR 0.37; 95% CI 0.19–0.74). After six months, adolescents were three times more likely to have used amphetamine-type stimulants (aOR 3.42; 95% CI 1.29–9.09). Conclusions: Adolescents experience different challenges than their older peers when transitioning from prison to the community. Age-specific, integrated support is needed for adolescents during this critical period, including strategies to promote early primary care contact, capitalise on social support networks, and discourage risky substance use.

Full text

Abstract:

Environmental contextAirborne fine particles affect local, regional and global air quality and deteriorate the environment. Therefore comprehensive information on the locations and strengths of particle sources is critical for the development of strategies for mitigating the adverse effects of aerosols. The multivariate data analysis techniques used in this paper allowed the benefits of a previous control measure to be assessed and provided vital information for the application of further pollution reduction strategies to this and other areas of the world. AbstractAirborne fine particles were collected at a suburban site in Queensland, Australia between 1995 and 2003. The samples were analysed for 21 elements and Positive Matrix Factorisation (PMF), Preference Ranking Organisation Methods for Enrichment Evaluation (PROMETHEE) and Graphical Analysis for Interactive Assistance (GAIA) were applied to the data. PROMETHEE provided information on the ranking of pollutant levels from the sampling years whereas PMF provided insights into the sources of the pollutants, their chemical composition, most likely locations and relative contribution to the levels of particulate pollution at the site. PROMETHEE and GAIA found that the removal of lead from fuel in the area had a significant effect on the pollution patterns whereas PMF identified six pollution sources, including railways (5.5%), biomass burning (43.3%), soil (9.2%), sea salt (15.6%), aged sea salt (24.4%) and motor vehicles (2.0%). Thus the results gave information that can assist in the formulation of mitigation measures for air pollution.

Abstract:

Epoxy resin was filled with glass powder with a view to increasing strength of the composite for structural applications by a research Centre on composites, University of Southern Queensland (USQ). In order to reduce costs, the Centre wishes to fill as much glass powder as possible subject to maintaining sufficient strength of the composites in structural applications. This project varies the percentage by weight of the glass powder in the composites which are then subjected to flexural tests. The results show that composite with 25 % by weight of the glass powder produces the highest flexural strength and Young’s modulus combined with a reasonable fluidity for casting; the highest flexural strain was achieved when the percentage by weight of glass powder is 10 %.
